Since Brewdog released their recipes I've been planning to have a crack at Dead Pony Club. Their recipes are not specific in terms of hop additions so I've reviewed other clones online and had a guess. Their recipe is for 20L and I have simply reduce the hops for a 15L version. How does this look? Maybe I should split some of the dry hops and do a 0min addition?

Wyeast 1056 that they use is supposed to be the same strain as US-05, but the dried doesn't perform half as good as the liquid.

That's the only reason I'd look to use an alternative dry yeast.

Always good to get another option on the dry yeast front if not a fan of US-05. Not used Mangrove Jacks dry yeast before but I would go for liquid using Wyeast 1056 (as listed on DIY BrewDogs released recipes) as the way to go.

I'm going to give this a go in a few weeks with the 1056.

Hops and yeast look fine to me, I've brewed something pretty similar several times and it has always gone down well. When comparing it to the original DPC I noticed that mine was considerably lighter in colour than Brewdog's version despite using around 7% Caramalt.
